Unique and appealing art style combining fungal and robotic themes, creating a fresh atmosphere distinct among souls-likes.
Engaging combat system with responsive controls, tight gameplay, and a variety of weapon types and build customization through interchangeable body parts.
Well-designed and interconnected world with exploration rewarding players through hidden areas, secrets, and a strong sense of adventure both in solo and cooperative play.

Difficulty can be uneven and sometimes punishing, with bosses and certain enemies dealing excessive damage, often forcing tank-centric builds and frustrating solo play.
Various bugs, glitches, and performance issues remain, such as hit detection problems, multiplayer lag and crashes, inconsistent enemy AI, and problematic UI/inventory management.
Lack of content and features in current early access state, including limited variety of gear and builds, confusing map navigation, inconvenient fast travel, and some design choices that negatively impact pacing and progression.

The gameplay is praised for its smooth, Souls-like mechanics and unique body-part upgrading system that offers build flexibility, blending well with the game's biomechanical theme. However, some players note issues such as lack of content, occasional bugs, restrictive controls, and performance problems that affect the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, frequent updates and the game's creative design maintain strong player interest and enjoyment.
- “Gameplay is pretty smooth, and the different builds that are available all seem to be fairly balanced.”
- “The fungal-robot-zombie concept is very cool and well-integrated into the mechanics of the game.”
- “The mechanic of upgrading your character from salvaged parts is fun, as it allows you to easily respec at any bonfire.”
- “If you are hoping to co-op from different ends of the US, I would hold off for now; the lag is very noticeable to the extent that it affects gameplay and can cause missed jumps and delayed attacks.”
- “Walk bugs force you to quit the game to reset as dying or saying 'I'm stuck' doesn't fix it, and you can't use your sprint or dodge to avoid mechanics or enemy attacks.”
- “Gameplay is awful, very buggy game, poorly balanced.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique, cool, and visually appealing low-poly art style, enhanced by pleasant lighting and thoughtful design that avoids looking low effort. Users appreciate the distinct aesthetic, blending flat colors and voxel displacement without relying heavily on textures, creating an immersive and memorable visual experience. While some note performance issues, overall the visuals receive positive comments for their originality and strong contribution to the game's atmosphere.
- “The aesthetic, with models having a subtle 'line boiling' effect, is extremely pleasing; the new lighting is very pleasant, and the game is fun as all get out.”
- “The visuals of MyCorelic are distinct, including its mix of gradients and voxel displacement; it blends flat colors and doesn't rely on textures to look super pretty.”
- “At first glance, it looks like one of those low poly asset flip games, but it actually has a super cool art style if you watch it in motion for more than 2 seconds.”
- “Music and graphics are bland.”
- “Just play the free demo and don't let the graphics fool you.”
- “Aesthetic, mechanics, everything... but god, the enemies hit way too hard and it runs really bad (my PC can run Sekiro, Remnant From the Ashes and even Bleak Faith, this game should not be harder to run than those).”

The music in the game effectively complements its tribal and mechanical themes, with dynamic shifts from calm, ethereal tones to intense combat drums. While some find the music and graphics bland, others praise its immersive sound design and atmospheric qualities that enhance the game's mood. Overall, the music is regarded as good and fitting for the experience.
- “The tribal themes match well with the scrap machinery and convey themselves in the music.”
- “While out of combat the music is calm and ethereal, but as soon as the combat begins, whether you know you're in combat or not, pounding drums alert you.”
- “Music and graphics are bland.”
- “But the true masterpiece is the sound design: the persistent, faint hiss of the mycelial growth within the robot without a name’s chassis; the way his movements echo in the dead halls, reminding you that you are alone; the quiet, mournful music that only plays when you stand still, as if the spores themselves are singing a requiem for the forgotten humanity.”
- “While out of combat the music is calm and ethereal, but as soon as the combat begins whether you know you're in combat or not pounding drums alert you.”
